Happy Four Years!

 Guys, I can't believe this was FOUR years ago today! What a magical and perfect day this was!

It's been a couple years since I've posted photos from our wedding, but as I was going through some of them last night--I just couldn't help but feel so blessed to have so many wonderful family members and sweet friends that helped make this day so special.

And of course--I feel so lucky that this amazing man wanted to marry me! 

I can't believe that handsome face is mine forever. 

I couldn't possibly share every photo, so I've just chosen some highlights...

So grateful for all these BEAUTIFUL people! The fact that they all came to support us on our big day just fills my heart with so much joy. Many of them traveled from very far distances to be with us--we have such amazing people in our lives.

I love you all!

I really loved my reception. 

It was a simple and elegant backyard gathering--just liked I had always dreamed!

(My only regret is not having a videographer there on this day--I ran out of money and decided it wasn't "that big of deal" but I now REALLY regret it!)

 The entrance to our magical backyard reception!

 I love these siblings of mine!

 My family was such a huge help making our wedding happen! I'm so grateful for them.

 Doesn't Robert's sister Heather just look like she was meant to be one of the sisters?! So gorgeous! Love my bridesmaids!

A sweet friend of mine made this cake for us--and Rob and I still talk about how delicious it was to this day. Seriously, one of the best cakes I have ever eaten! And again, it just makes me feel so loved that I have such amazing and talented friends that made this day so special!

 My cousin--who had been in at military training on the west coast--SURPRISED the whole family by showing up! It was so special! He literally graduated from camp that morning, his family picked him up, and then they all drove like 12 hours to my reception!
Just thinking about this special moment brings tears to my eyes!

 Just so many wonderful memories, with good friends and family!

I'll remember this day forever!

Good times on the dance floor!

It was also really fun to have our wedding featured in Utah Valley Bride Magazine! 

I remember I had soooo many people ask about my dress--and I'm not going to lie, it was definitely one of my favorite details of the wedding! It is from J.Crew but as since been discontinued.

Of course the wedding details are fun and all, but the most amazing memories I have are the feelings of love I felt from those around us--both family and friends--and the love I felt for this best friend of mine. He is my rock. He always will be.

It was such a perfect day--and a perfect start to an eternity together.

I love you Robert!

Happy four years sweetheart!

family trip to destin, florida // video

The Campbell Family from Nichel Warwick on Vimeo.

I am SO excited to share this amazing video that my sweet and talented sister made of my little family during our recent trip to Destin, FL! This is so special to me and is something I will cherish forever! Life is been so busy lately--and time is flying by much to quickly--these memories of Mila at this adorable age are so very dear to my heart.

We also took lots of amazing pictures! (Sidenote--Destin is heaven on earth! We are obsessed and plan on going back ever year as a family!) Hopefully I'll be able to get some of those pictures up soon! The backdrop of the crystal clear waters, bright blue sky and white sugar sand are simply dreamy--some of my favorite pictures we've ever taken.

Hope y'all are having a wonderful week--and that you're having better weather than we've got here in Houston right now (grey and rainy is the forecast for this whole week--and we're not thrilled about it) I may just keep re-watching this little video and dream of being back in that perfect place!

bluebonnets + easter ❀

If you follow me on Instagram, you've already been spammed with a lot of these bluebonnet photos--and I'm sorry about that, but also not because this really was THE. BEST. DAY. EVER.

 I hope to remember it forever and ever--and pictures are one way to make that happen. It was one of those days, when you're humbled and reminded of what is really important in life--where your priorities should be. 

My husband and I are are both firm believers that experience trumps material things. Don't get me wrong, we like our stuff--and sometimes it's hard to not have things that we want--but then days like these happen...

and none of it seems to matter anymore.

 This is what it's all about.

These people right here are my eternity, and the experiences I make with them are what we're going to remember and are going to shape us as individuals and as a family.

 I love these people with everything I've got--and feel so blessed to be a wife and mama to them.

And if you know me personally--you know that I can't and won't stop talking about my love for Texas--and this time of year is a huge part of that. 

The weather is heavenly, the humidity has yet to hit in full-force, and these bluebonnets start spreading over hill-country--it's like a dream come true.

Pair the bluebonnets with this Texas babe, and it really is perfection! 

 Rob and I hope to be able to stay in Texas forever and raise our kids here.
It's such a perfect place to have a family.

And maybe one day build a little ranch out in hill-country where we can retire, buy some chickens and grow old...

yep, that's the dreammmmm.

Gah, I love it!

When I think of my love for these two, I always think of one of my favorite quotes from Gilead
(one of my all-time favorite reads)
“I’m writing this in part to tell you that if you ever wonder what you’ve done in your life, and everyone does wonder sooner or later, you have been God’s grace to me, a miracle, something more than a miracle."
♥♥♥♥♥

And I had to throw in a couple Easter sunday pictures of course!

Sweet Mila was a little cranky all day--mainly because she had been bitten right in between the eyes by a nasty spider. It was all swollen and itchy. Poor thing.

It was a lovely Easter! 

Church followed by dinner and an Easter egg hunt with the family--doesn't get better than that!
